May we all prepare ourselves for the Birth of Our Lord, and be prepared to fully receive Him as we realize the true and proper meaning of this Season! My prayer for us all is that in preparing to receive the Lord joyfully this year, we will remain close to him through out this coming year, and with God’s help, through all of our lives.
